The Vessyl is a new smart cup that knows what you’re drinking

In the great gadget filing cabinet of this world, there are only two places you could file the Vessyl. Either in the “When I didn’t know this existed I didn’t care, but now I do I really really want it” section, or the one headed “Why would anyone think I want this?” It’s a cup that can analyze what you are ingesting when you drink whatever it is you’re drinking and it’s got an app that allows you to input your fluid intake using a mobile device. Let’s look at its exernal attributes first. The Vessyl is gorgeous. It’s designed by Yves Behar, one of the best product designers around today. Like a cashmere sweater, it’s hand-wash only. No instruction manual is needed, the display is activated merely by tilting the cup.
